Quotes 

• Col. Gregory : Sir, I can't put up all of my men unless we get at least five more transports.

  Rear Admiral Rock Torrey : Well, aren't there any more R4D's on Tulabonne?

  Col. Gregory : Yes, but they're held in reserve.

  Captain Paul Eddington : Reserve! What... for?

  Col. Gregory : That's the way Admiral Broderick has things organized.

  Captain Paul Eddington : What happens if an R4D conks out?

  Col. Gregory : Tulabonne sends us a spare until we get it fixed.

  Captain Paul Eddington : Five of 'em just conked out, Gregg.

  Commander Egan Powell : Let's relay the sad news to Broderick!

  Rear Admiral Rock Torrey : Mr. Canfil, you seem to have fallen in among thieves!

  Clayton Canfil, Australian Coastwatcher : It does seem so, Admiral, I'm very happy to say!

• Clayton Canfil, Australian Coastwatcher : There's a way to find out what the Japs are up to; but I'll have to do it myself. I used to run a plantation on Gavabutu; I know that island like the back of my hand. Have one of your subs put me ashore there and in two weeks, I'll be able to tell you just what our little yellow brothers are up to.

  Rear Admiral Rock Torrey : All right, Mr. Canfil; but be careful, we can't afford to lose you.

  Clayton Canfil, Australian Coastwatcher : [Grinning]  I'm not planning on getting lost, Admiral.

• Commander Gottlieb : The isolabaric gradient is changing rapidly, and here the increasing pressure is described by this isobaric curve, which is forcing this low trough off to the east.

  Clayton Canfil, Australian Coastwatcher : For the benefit of an ignorant old planter, Commander, what the hell does all that mean?

  Commander Gottlieb : [grinning]  Our crummy weather is blowing out, and we're due for maybe five days of sunshine.

  Clayton Canfil, Australian Coastwatcher : Good-oh.
